The Purchasing Card Supplier Portal streamlines the process for authorized
cardholders to use a University purchasing card
for ordering from authorized supplier online ordering web sites.
While the BEN Buys Purchasing System is
the primary buying method, the purchasing card is the appropriate buying method
for suppliers offering configurable products available only via purchasing card
enabled ordering sites or for suppliers who provide required products but will
not accept a purchases order.
How to Access the Supplier Ordering Sites?
Please review the Purchasing Card Program
for information on the University Purchasing Card. A reminder to all
authorized cardholders, use of a Purchasing Card is a privilege granted by the
Institution, and as such, will be revoked and disciplinary action taken in the
event of abuse, inappropriate or fraudulent use, or failure to perform required
program administrative duties.
PennKey authentication is required before access is granted to the
Purchasing Card Supplier Portal. Authorized Purchasing Card cardholders must
enter their PennKey and password in the appropriate boxes to gain access to the
supplier ordering sites that are available in the supplier portal. Please direct
all questions regarding the Purchasing Card Supplier Portal to
Brian Caputo (bcaputo@upenn.edu) in
Purchasing Services.
